The Ancient Congregational Mosque of Shiraz is the historic Friday mosque in the city of Shiraz, Fars province. It is among the city’s oldest mosque sites with origins in the early Islamic period (early medieval centuries).

The complex occupies a central position in Shiraz’s historic quarter and features a large courtyard and covered prayer spaces typical of a congregational mosque. Architectural details reflect multiple construction phases and repairs carried out by successive local dynasties.

The mosque originated in the early Islamic centuries and has been rebuilt and altered several times under later rulers, including major medieval-era renovations. Throughout its history it served as the main Friday mosque for Shiraz and as a focal point for communal and religious life.

Located in central Shiraz in Fars province, the mosque sits within the old city where many of Shiraz’s historic streets, bazaars, and public buildings are concentrated.
